+eagsc7 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Today I went out and searched for benchmarks by coordinates and it came up with a list. The first few came up as I clicked on the links for them. Then, I hit a brickwall. They stopped working at all. I assumed that it was just that search. I went back, searched again, and had the same result. What is up with the Database? I heard a rumor that it was being moved to another site... or something. The Steaks Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 That happened to me yesterday also. Then it was back online. I think it was just some temporary system maintenance or reboot. I haven't heard of any movement planned. Quote Link to comment
+pgrig Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yup, it's happening to me right now. I can pull up MY0235, but when I try to log it, I get an error msg. Quote Link to comment
+TheBeanTeam Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 When I try to get to a benchmark using a link pasted in the forums I come up with an error. I can still get to them by going in through the geocaching site directly though. Odd. They just did a release of new code yesterday I wonder if it is related. Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Good.. well.. not so good, but at least I'm not the only one [] Quote Link to comment
+dtshaw66 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Crazy - this is happening to me too. I can get to the log visit page of the BM's I've already found, but can't log any new ones. Quote Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Checking into this, guys. Please hang in there for a bit while we track down the problem. Edit: Found the problem and we'll be hotfixing momentarily. Thanks for being patient. Edited September 4, 2008 by OpinioNate Quote Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hotfix is in for the big issue, but there seems to be still another bug that prevents logging on about every 20th benchmark or so. We'll keep at it but for now you should mostly be able to go about your business. Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Woohoo.. Thanks for the quick response! It may have been fixed, but will test more in 14 hours... once I get off work... Quote Link to comment

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Anyone and everyone who is having an issue should tell exactly what has happened here on this thread. Give OpinioNate as much info as possible. He has to know what is going on before he can fix it. Thank you all. Shirley~ Quote Link to comment

+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I just now tried this with EW1435. I get the same results with my old Netscape 7.2, Internet Explorer 6.0, and Google Chrome 0.2. The results are: ========================================== Your request has resulted in an error. You may choose to retry your previous request. Or you may tell us what you were doing when this error occurred. ========================================== Other PIDs from other parts of the country have the same result. The datasheets all show OK, but clicking on "Log this Benchmark" results in the error screen. The URLs show up as this: http://www.geocaching.com/mark/log.aspx?WP=HW0250 Quote Link to comment
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 As I posted earlier, it might help if you go to the link provided in the Quote to give Nate the complete picture of what the problem is. It will be quicker for him to see it there and he might not come to this thread to see these posts. So, here is the post...

+Rev Mike Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am getting that error for about 13 that I still need to log. I have only been able to get the logs through for 5 of the 18 i NEEDED TO LOG. I am also having trouble posting pictures to some older ones that I logged but have not uploaded the pictures to yet. - Rev Mike Quote Link to comment
+Shorelander Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 My guess is that they're not in today to fix things? I hope to see it fixed tomorrow, because none of mine are working. Quote Link to comment
+Kohavis Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I also got the error when I tried logging a benchmark find this morning. I click the "Log this benchmark" link and it takes me to an error reporting screen. I've reported it already. Quote Link to comment
+stujan Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I have been trying to log TT0751 benchmark for the last two days without any luck:( I logged another BM yesterday without any problems I don't understand it but I hope it gets fixed soon before I loose interest. Quote Link to comment
topflitejr1 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I just finished logging my Saturday finds on GC, after trying all weekend. Looks like it's back up and running again. Quote Link to comment
+pgrig Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I had been able to log some and not others, but now a couple I couldn't log over the weekend have become "available" again. Quote Link to comment
+mystagogic Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I was just able to log a benchmark that gave me trouble since last Friday! Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Last night I logged about thirty from Sunday's hunt with only one small glitch. I guess the crisis is over... Quote Link to comment
